ONLY A TRAMP.

Detroit Free Press.
A dark December night-the
snow whirling fiercely round
bleak corners and drifting in. long
mounds into the street.
AT q corner, where the light
from a lamp falls upon him,
stands a ragged, motionless figure
bearing the outlines OF a man.
His rags futter in the icy blasts,
the snowAakes eddy around him,
drifting about his feet as he
stands gazing into the uncurtain-
ed windows of a great house
whence como sweet strains of
music.
Within, q CRATE glowing with
warmth and light, rich upholster-
ed furniture, soft lights, and the
group around the piano. White
fingers fit across the keys and
glad voices attune themselves to
full, rich chords not the classic
harmonies Of Handel or Bach, bat
the simple, touching "Rock Of
Ages"
The figure moves nearer, and IS
sharper blast sweeps around
him, shiyers and draws his rags
more closely about him. Dat in
the night, homeless in tie pitiless
storm, bat he is needless of it all
rs memory carries him backward.
Childhood, purity and love, the
strains Of music, and he forgets
what he has been.
Crock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee"
And out from the warmth and
splendor the words float to the lis
tener in the wild storm. He
leans YEARLY against the lamp
post, the wind rises into a shrek
and dies away in a hollow moan,
the snow fakes whiring by, for a
moment flash diamond fires, but
his senses seem sunk in oblivion.
Su llenly, from out the bronze
throat of a great clock. Earring
and discordant, comes the stroke
of 10.
Rousing from his reverie, he
draws his worn hat over his eyes,
and turns into the dark street
going-where?
A tramp! Only a wretched
outcast, sick at heart with buffet
ing the storms Of life, weary of
disappointment and heartaches,
drifting out toward the great
shores of Eternity, unknown, till
at the sound of the last trump, he
answers at the roll-call of the
Resurrection.

The Name Of the Strawberry,

1t is generally taught by horticultural
authors that strawberry is so called be-
cause of straw being placed between the
rows in culture in order to keep the fruit
clean. 1t does not seem to have occurred
to these philologists that the strawberry
must have had a name when wild. and
before it was introduced to culture. The
explanation is evidently a mere after
thought, shrew guess. 1t appears by a
recent English writer that its name in
these earlier times was strewbcrric,"
strew or stray being much the same as our
word walking about" We call native
fern, Camptosorus. the Walking Fern"
because it roots at the tips, and then takes
a fresh start with new frond. which
again roots, and in time the plant walks"
or strays long way from Its parent The
strawberry walks by its runners pre-
cise,y in the same way. and if it occur
to modern to call this fern the walking
fern, there is no reason why the ancient
Saxons or Britons should not call the
strawberry plant the walking plant, and
the fruit the walking or straw" berry.
If only guess, it certainly seems the
most reasonable of all the gucsses that
have been given as to why the strawberry
Is so called.-,Ldepeadeaf

Birds sing in the dewy air,

Hearts are buoyant, free from care,
